Chapter 463: Chapter 176 Slash! Slash! Slash! (6k)_3
Only to see a flash of light within his body, and the Nascent Soul instantly broke out of it, transforming into a stream of light and diving straight into the great spear.
In an instant, the great spear seemed to be released from a seal, radiating a blinding light. The ancient runes on the spear’s body twisted as if they were living beings, emitting a terrifying aura.
Zhou Qing’s face slightly changed; was this an enhancement of the opponent’s Nascent Soul?
Could he transform into an Artifact Spirit temporarily?
Indeed, at this moment, Zhou Qing felt an extremely strong sense of danger from this great spear.
"To think I have to sacrifice five hundred years of my life span, you’ve forced me to this!" The angry roar of Li Hanshan echoed from the great spear, filled with boundless resentment and unwillingness.
Then the great spear thrust at Zhou Qing with such speed that it produced a sharp whistling sound in the surrounding air.
Zhou Qing flapped his wings to distance himself, but the great spear seemed to vanish into the void instantly.
Before Zhou Qing could react, it appeared directly before his chest and then fiercely stabbed into him.
With a dull loud noise, like the tolling of a great bell, the surrounding air buzzed resonantly.
The astonishing defensive power of the Golden Roc True Body was fully displayed at this moment.
Li Hanshan, who had transformed into an Artifact Spirit, was shaken with dizziness and shock from the massive counterforce, staring in disbelief at the scene.
Five hundred years of life span, along with the Nascent Soul’s enhancement, poured into the full-force thrust, only left a shallow white mark on the surface, failing to penetrate at all.
How is this possible!
"Humph!" Zhou Qing snorted coldly, extending his claws to grab the shaft of the great spear.
The golden giant claws, like iron cast, tightly clutched the great spear, and as he exerted force, the great spear emitted a creaking sound of unbearable stress.
Inside, Li Hanshan’s Nascent Soul immediately let out a wretched scream, full of pain and despair, and then struggled violently to escape.
But Zhou Qing would not give him the chance. Spiritual Power continuously surged into his claws. With a crunching sound, he forcefully broke the great spear in half.
Whizz!
A weakened figure suddenly emerged, rushing towards the body not far away.
Zhou Qing opened his mouth wide, and a golden flame, empowered by Thunder, instantly enveloped it.
Immediately, an even more wretched scream echoed through the heavens. The Nascent Soul within was burned by the golden flame, growing dimmer and smaller, as if drained of life force, eventually dissipating into a wisp of green smoke.
Thus, the five great prodigies of Cangyan Daoist Palace met their end at Zhou Qing’s hands.
After finally ending this fierce battle, Zhou Qing felt a wave of dizziness. Using multiple powerful techniques had exhausted him greatly.
The Spiritual Qi in his meridians was nearly depleted, his body incredibly fatigued, as if every movement required immense effort.
Suddenly, a thunderous and majestic aura exploded from not far away. Zhou Qing forced himself to look and saw Blood Bone Old Ghost being flung back like a broken kite, smashing several large trees and rolling several times on the ground before barely stabilizing.
At this moment, his clothes were in tatters, and the blood mist around him dimmed, with half his body missing, blood gushing out, staining the ground beneath him red.
His face was full of horror and despair.
Lu Yaoyao was also covered in blood, panting heavily. She looked exhausted, holding a piece of golden talisman paper that was gradually dimming.
"You shouldn’t have gotten distracted!" Lu Yaoyao muttered to herself.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhou Qing endured the exhaustion, immediately flying to Blood Bone Old Ghost and smacking his fleshly body into a pulp with one claw.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Blood Bone Old Ghost’s Nascent Soul escaped in panic, but Zhou Qing’s golden flame enveloped it directly.
"Spare me, spare me, Zhou Qing, if you let me live, I’ll serve you diligently. I have many secrets of the Cangyan Daoist Palace, aahh—"
He was genuinely terrified, continuously begging for mercy.
Zhou Qing wouldn’t consider having such an old fox. With the fierce burning of the flame, Blood Bone Old Ghost was quickly reduced to ashes amidst his curses.
"Storage bag—" Zhou Qing shouted.
Lu Yaoyao understood instantly, grabbing their storage bags without any joy, quickly infiltrating them with her Divine Sense and shouting, "They’re dead!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing finally felt his hanging heart settle.
Then, light flickered as he reverted to his original form, falling straight from the sky.
Lu Yaoyao was startled, quickly flying over to catch him.
"I, I’m fine," Zhou Qing lightly waved his hand, forcing his weak body to retrieve Top-Grade Spirit Stones from the storage bag and began to recover using the "Yin Yang Skills."
Only then did Lu Yaoyao relax slightly, quietly guarding him, her eyes still showing concern, always monitoring Zhou Qing’s condition.
After recovering a little, Zhou Qing staggered to the spot where Li Hanshan had set up the Array, destroyed the core to reveal the Array Disc and Top-Grade Spirit Stones embedded in it.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly flew down to retrieve them.
"Its power is great, but it’s a one-time use," Zhou Qing remarked with some regret as he looked at the Array Disc.
Moreover, such an Array Disc might bear the mark of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
